The characters of glacier tourism include scarcity, frangibility, localization of tourist activity, scientific connotation, and integrated function and value. The paper summarizes the latest researches in developing glacier tourism resources. Regarding the Bogda Glacier Park as an example, the authors analyze the characteristics of glacier tourism resources in detail and the conditions and potential threats of glacier tourism development. Suggestions on glacier tourism development and protection are given as follows: 1) to plan function subarea scientifically and reasonably; 2) to combine tourism, scientific research with ecological education; 3) to take countermeasures of environmental protection; 4) to integrate tourism resources and strengthening regional cooperation. Finally, emphases are put forward on resources conformity along the tourism line and cooperation of tourism management.
